Children in
Lebanon and Gaza
are under attack
More than 1 million homeless children face threat of disease
In Gaza, children are dying in their thousands. In Lebanon, they fear the same catastrophic fate.
At least 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and now over 600 have died in Lebanon in just one week.
This violence is having a traumatic effect on the families that manage to survive. But bombs and bullets are only the start of their new terrifying reality.
In Gaza, nine in every ten people have been forced from their homes, including almost a million children.
In Lebanon, in only a few weeks, the number of internally displaced people has risen to at least 1.2 million, including 400,000 children.
They are forced to live in tents, schools and makeshift shelters. Many have nothing more than the clothes on their backs to keep them warm.
Hungry, thirsty and afraid, they will now have no option but to drink water contaminated with faeces and will almost certainly contract life threatening polio, cholera or diarrhoea.
These children desperately need your help.
